Creatures That Glow

by Kris Hirschmann

An estimated 80 to 90 percent of the ocean's creatures are bioluminescent. This book explains this phenomenon from a scientific standpoint and examines many of the seas' most interesting glowing animals. Separate chapters discuss the role of bioluminescence in communication, reproduction, hunting, and defense.
